# NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.notAnAttribute

A placeholder value for indicating that the constraint’s second item and second attribute aren’t used in any calculations.

## Declaration

```swift
case notAnAttribute
```

## Discussion

Discussion Use this value when creating a constraint that assigns a constant to an attribute. For example, item1.height >= 40. If a constraint only has one item, set the second item to nil, and set the second attribute to NSLayoutConstraint.Attribute.notAnAttribute.
